same here, no recall at all yet

Everyone needs to report this problem. The Apple support staff are not made aware of it(or told to pretend not to know).https://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html

i am having the same display issues. If I open my laptop for more than 45 degrees, my screen goes completely pink and. I have had my laptop for less than 2 years. Apple needs to repair these laptops for free

Same problem. 15” macbook pro 2016. More than 45 degrees and the screen shuts off. This is the 3rd repair after logic board failure and speaker failure. The computer is total junk. Ridiculous that they refuse to acknowledge the issue exists in 15” models.

I own two 15" 2016 MacBook Pro's. One just went from footlights to broken and the other will go to footlights past a certain point of opening. The amount of Apple products I own and have bought through the years is huge. As a known issue I find it deplorable that they will not offer a fix. These computers are just under two years old, it's pathetic!!!!! I will begin my migration back to the evil Windows if this is not resolved by Apple soon. The comments about Mr. Jobs are correct and someone at the company should take heed.

Same here. Have bought so many Apple products in the past couple years. My 2016 15" Macbook Pro that I owned since April 2017 has: (1) Faulty battery that needed to be replaced, (2) Faulty logic board that needed to be replaced, and now (3) a faulty display that won't turn on when opened past 45 degrees. Another $800 repair... No thanks. Time for Apple to take responsibility - absolutely ridiculous. If only they knew the customer they were losing as a result. Migrated to Windows two weeks ago. Has not been that bad to tell you the truth (it is certainly nice to have a working keyboard XD).

Same problem here on MacBook Pro 15' 2017. It's the third time i have problems with this laptop in one year. Logic board replaced twice... now is the display that shutdowns when opened more than 45 degrees.

I truly feel scammed about all this marketing.

Gone are the times when Apple was actually a remarkable company.... Where are you Steve Jobs?

i have same problem since march 2019, apple store is charging me 60,000 INR (USD 840) for display which is mental

i have a useless piece of crap and they just launched it for 13 inch MacBook Pros i feel cheated i am glad i found this because

i searched countless hours on internet but there was only 13 inches being reported

Same problem here on my 15", it's a shame that Apple won't repair this for free as it is a conception problem (like the keyboard).

I was planning to buy the new 16" to replace it but now I'm just considering to abandon the brand, I don't want to pay 3000+ for a something that may have problems.

This is ridiculous, an expensive laptop like this and then after 1.5 years, my keyboard is faulty, the speakers don't work properly and now this backlight issue. If my MacBook Pro 15" 2016 with touchbar is having the same issue as the 13" inch models why am i being charged $800 plus to repair it? I understand that a new design can have design flaws but at least take full responsibility for it!

Just curious, did you have a chance to mention the free display repair service program for 13 inch? Did they say why 15 is excluded?

It just doesn’t feel fair, unfortunately there’s no Apple store in my country and support call rep could not provide any info, or escalate the case. So it’s kind of hopeless.
